For the love of all that is Good and Right, please do not use obnoxious
transitions in your presentations!
Seriously, if you're just going to speak your slides, you're doing
something wrong. And if you're not going to speak your slides, you're
not spoiling anything by leaving out the fade-ins etc.
I think judicious use of transitions can help place emphasis, and if*
used correctly can be effective and appropriate. That said, most
people don't have good judgement and don't know what they want to
emphasize.
I don't know if these transitions were judicious or not, but the
presentation is fairly entertaining:

If you look at the last slide he thanks Larry Lessig (of Creative
Commons) for influencing the presentation style. Anyone who saw Lessig
present last year at USU will see the similarities, though this guy's
was a bit more dizzying.
One thing I liked that Lessig did was put opening and closing tags on
the segments of his presentation. A bit audience-specific, but very
effective.
